Pocket PC Forum / Developers / WinCE Programming / August 2008Detecting the file system used
Hi, All, I noticed that we can use the debug version to get the file system type, which is used in the storage device. Is there any other easy way to know this, such as WIN32 function?

RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT("\t\tPartion Type %s\n"), PartTypeString )); Seems in the partition table, there is no exFAT and TFAT types. In CE 6.0, this is very confusing.

In fact, CE 6.0 describes that TFAT can only be used with exFAT in its help document. This is not the same with some past experience. Several of my colleagues used the TFAT only during their past development procedure. My current trying is to find a way to detect the exact file sytem that will be used in our system.

You will find several discussion of this in the newsgroups. I don't recall anyone ever finding a solution. I once write some code to search the bits on the drive to find an instance of "TFAT". It worked, but should **NEVER** be used in production becuase it can cause serious problems with a disk.

You can see how the OS does it: WINCE600\PUBLIC\COMMON\OAK\DRIVERS\FSD\FATUTIL Look for "ReadBootSector" in scandisk.cpp Geoff -- Thanks. But that is for the MBR format. In the CE6.0 R2, this will not be used for NAND Flash any longer.
